I am your hero
(prologue)
All was well in the hidden leaf village until the moment when the villagers broke into the Hokage's mansion and stole a child that held a demon inside of her.
"Burn the beast!"
"Throw her in a lake!"
"Send her to another dimension!" the yelling ceased when a young Chuunin yelled out of turn.
"That is a GREAT IDEA!" the eldest one yelled, then they all stood in a circle round the young chuunin. Every person in the village was aware that this chuunin knew magic. "Get on with it Jowan! We cant wait!"
"Looks like im leaving too then." he mumbled, luckily nobody knew about his mumbling. It didn't take long but a brilliant white portal exploded into life in the middle of the circle. Somebody passed the child to him then they all started yelling at him to throw the infant in. "Good luck little one. Keep this and I will find you one day." he attached a steel bracelet to the girls wrist then stepped into the portal with her in his arms.
"Jowan! Get back here!" one of the villagers reached for the portal but as they were about to touch it it snapped out of existence. That was the last everybody heard of the Blood mage and the prophesied child.
(current day) (Tenten POV)
"Tamlen! Are you ready yet?" that elf takes so long to get ready sometimes. Oh yeah. My name is Tenten but I am more commonly known as Elissa. Apparently my clan – the Dalish- saw me pop out of a gleaming white portal when I was a baby. Even though I'm human they raised me as one of their own. I sighed and shifted position so I was leaning against the wooden caravan. As I did my steel bracelet jingled on my wrist.
"Give me a minute Elissa! Geez!" I sighed and shifted my hunting bow around on my back. I am 17 years old, I have brown hair at shoulder length and I wear the usual leather armour all us hunters wear. I am actually planning on growing my hair out just for the purpose of hiding my ears.
"you've had a minute! Get your butt out here!" oh yeah. I am impatient. Before I forget, Tamlen is blonde with wide blue eyes.
"Elissa stop yelling! Some of us were on night watch!" loud voice, impatient attitude, the way I can expertly handle sharp swords...yeah. I am violent.
"All right. Lets go before you get the entire camp angry at you." Tamlen chuckled. I grinned at him then we both left camp to hopefully find some deer. While we walked I cracked some bad jokes and puns to make him laugh.
"Hey Tamlen. Do you sense that?" I stopped abruptly then drew my daggers and got into a fighting stance. I heard footsteps.
"Yeah. They're not of Dalish nature." he drew his bow instead and brought n arrow back, ready to shoot. Almost on cue three shemlens burst through the undergrowth, running at a hurried pace. Not armed...
"What are you three doing here?" I growled at them uncaring about their facial expressions.
"Shems dong belong in the dalish forest!" I hear thudding. Its behind us! Before I could cry out a warning to Tamlen a huge monster picked him up and started shaking him.
"What the hell is that?" I yelled back to the shems whilst trying to figure out how to bring the monster down.
"Its a darkspawn! Run for it!" I heard the humans disperse as fast as they could. Pathetic race. The arms! Got it! As I ran towards it I felt adrenaline surge through me. Then I felt an arrow penetrate my side and send me flying. Ugh...what was that? I feel really horrible. I turned to look at my attackers and say that three smaller monsters were aiming bows at me. Dispite that I stood up and ran at them, my daggers glinting. I took down one of them and then another until the third one shot an arrow through my shoulder.
"Stay strong Elissa. I love you." a sickening crunch followed that shocked me to the core. I don't want to turn around. When I killed the third short monster I forced myself to. Tamlen was layed on the ground, bloody and bent awkwardly. The huge thing roared then charged towards me. I was winded and knocked off my feet into a nearby tree. I could feel my consciousness fading but I have to kill this thing!
"Damn demon! You wont live to see tomorrow!" I yelled at the the...ogre as I got up. Its now called an ogre. Running at the ogre I stabbed one of my daggers into its abdomen then another into its stomach. Its climbing time. Another to its torso then the last into its heart. Twisting the last blade it grabbed onto me and slammed me onto the ground. I'm surprised my back didn't break. I heard the hefty beast fall soon after. "Tamlen?" I forced myself to sit up and crawl over to the lifeless body of my friend. "Tamlen...don't leave me..." I felt tears running down my face and onto Tamlens face. Was this my fault? I could have saved him. Why not me? I hugged his body closer to me as if he would hug me back.
"Fire!" I felt 5 or 6 arrows pierce my back, making me black out.
(Duncan POV)
What was that? More darkspawn? Archers. I hope they haven't killed anybody else. Jogging slightly I found myself face-to-face with 4 genlock archers and a hurlock. Heh. Easy. The problem about being a grey warden is that the Darkspawn can sense you as you can sense them. One stab through genlock back. Another through the neck and that makes it two down. Ugh. Darkspawn blood all over my armour.
"YOU WILL DIE HUMAN!" oh joy. Hurlock alpha. As soon as I cleved the last genlocks head the hurlock swung a half moon axe down towards my head. I ducked and moved my head to the side so I wouldn't be cleaved in half.
"Silence demon!" I yelled at it before I stabbed it in the chest to bring it towards me then I sliced its head off. You wouldn't believe how much blood is in these things. When it finished covering me in foul smelling liquid I wiped it from my face, sheathed my weapons then continued walking. I didn't really get far when I came across another problem. Two dalish laying on the ground. Great. I padded over to them to check if they were still alive. When I did something glinted to my left side.
"Elissa! Tamlen! Where are you guys?" ignoring the cries from the woods I looked over to the left and saw a vast monstrosity that was slain, with daggers sticking out of its chest. Also ignoring the urge to cut it up and inspect it I wandered over to the pair that were lying on the ground. Just as I knelt down to inspect them a few dalish burst out of the undergrowth, their arrows pointing at me.
"Hail. I mean you no harm. I only just came across these two. I was just about to try and help them." I stood up, held my hands flat in front of my shoulders and backed away. I hope they don't realise that this is what you do yo animals to calm them down or I'm dead.
"Stay where you are shem." one of them started moving towards the two unconscious beings and finally knelt down next to them after a few minutes of glaring at me. "Merill...Tamlen is dead. Elissa is barely breathing." sounds worse than I thought. "6 darkspawn arrows lodged in her back, cuts to her sides and a deep cut on her cheek." the young dalish then started dislodging the arrows and placing them on the ground next to her foot.
"Were those arrow heads poisoned with darkspawn blood?" both Dalish looked at me in shock then the one who was knelt down and inspected the wounds in her back.
"No thankfully. Who are you shem? A regular human wouldn't think of that." the Dalish observed after laying both the victims on the ground. Behind that brown hair...is that a human ear?
"My name is Duncan, I am a Gray warden. And I am sure that your brown-haired friend there just killed a new type of darkspawn." that earned me some strange looks.
MEEENNNWHHHIILLLLEEE BACK IN KONAHA:
(third person POV)
The village was in a riot. It was mixed happy and angry to be perfectly honest. One blonde upstart found out that he was a mage. The first in 18 years.
"You know what this means? We can finally go into the dimension and find Jowan!" one elder cheered hartily.
"What about Tenten?" he had blonde spiky hair, piercing blue eyes and whisker birthmarks on his cheeks. His clothes consisted of Sannin robes that he got off his godfather. Yup. That's Naruto alright.
"Who cares about that demon child! She took our good friend Jowan with her!" the head of the Haruno clan yelled out.
"Didn't you drunk fools realise that you need two people to go through the portal at once?" Long black hair, white eyes, white robes and a man-skirt. I introduce to you none other than Hyuuga Neji. "Also that little girl was under protection of the Hyuuga clan!"
"And another thing you morons don't realise is that Jowan was Tenten's father!" Long blonde hair, deep blue eyes and purple clothing that barely covered her. Yamanaka Ino, I salute you. That sent a shockwave of murmuring through the crowd. These three had learnt the truth and were uncovering the whole story bit by bit.
"You three are just kids! What would you know about this?" Akamichi Chouza isn't very friendly sometimes.
"First, we aren't goats. And second. I am the only one who can construct this portal." Naruto sighed. These three teenagers have guts I'll give them that.
"if you three are planning on wandering to an alternate dimension you better think again." the crowd parted and some of the people even ran away when a woman with long blonde hair blue eyes and a green diamond on her forehead showed up. The fifth Hokage Tsunade! "We can not allow three of our ninjas to just disappear like that."
"But Hokage-sama, if we are successful in finding our lost ninja it could make out village even stronger!" Ino pleaded. Yeah. I wouldn't show attitude towards her either.
"There's no guarantee that she is even alive, and if she is she will have no idea about this world and you don't even know what she looks like! There's basicly no chance of finding her!" No optimism there.
"Plus, you three have no idea about that world or its inhabitants. How do you expect to survive?" long spiky white hair, black beady eyes and two red tear lines down his cheeks. Ero-sannin Jiraya!
"I highly doubt that there's anybody else in that world called Tenten." Neji standing up to two sannin? Lets watch him get mutilated!
"There's a high chance that she or anybody else don't know her name. Also, she might be going under a different name." the crowd had dispersed now, leaving only the two sannin and the three teenagers in the clearing.
"We forbid you three or anybody from going into one of these portals and risking your lives for somebody who is probably already dead!" Tsunade is mean sometimes. The three nodded then they started walking off apparently upset.
"Like in hell are we giving up now." They walked in silence for 5 minutes before Ino broke it.
"I agree with you there Ino. We spent 4 years gathering this information. She is my adopted sister and I wont back down." Neji sounds like he could break a wall at this moment in time.
"She has a locked power that surpasses mine and rivals with the nine-tails. We need to keep it locked." Naruto sighed. This was true. The power of a dead god was locked inside this girl. And its the power of the goddess of fertility. If you don't know, fertility means death.
"If that death power got loose it could destroy both this universe and the other."
"So...we go anyway?"
"Yes Ino, we are going there." all three teenagers stopped in the middle of the forest silent. After a few moments Naruto pulled out a kunai and cut a triangle into his skin. He clenched his fist to keep the blood going then he gave Neji the Kunai.
"All three of us are making this a blood deal." Neji then cut a triangle into Naruto's other wrist and did the same to one of his own. Ino did the same as Neji then let Naruto cut a triangle into her other wrist.
"may the three of us be joined in this promise." the three of them chanted in time with each other then brought their wrists together so the cuts were touching. "we vow to never stop until we complete our goal." then they wandered over to a tree that they had already cut three triangles into. "If we stop that means we are weak." in turn they all rubbed blood from each wrist into the tree bark and stepped back from it. They stayed silent for a few moments until Naruto spoke.
"Its too risky to do this ritual tonight. The idea is still fresh is peoples minds. We must do it tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is the 19th of March. And that is also..."
"Yes Neji we know. On her 18th we shall begin questing." these three had no idea what they were getting into.
...well? What do you think? Was I being witty in the last part? My dry wit is still a little damp but I'm drying it out slowly. If I get positive feedback I'm definitely writing more! So please R&R!
